An evaluation of the Canada-Ontario agricultural green plan

The Canada-Ontario Agreement of the Agricultural Component of the Green Plan, an equally-shared Canada-Ontario program, was designed to encourage and assist farmers with the implementation of appropriate farm management practices within the framework of environmentally sustainable agriculture. It was delivered over a five-year period from 1992 to 1997. An evaluation of the program was conducted to determine the results of the program. The program evaluation was conducted using an Evaluation Framework specified by the client. A work plan was developed and followed in conducting the data collection procedures. The collection of data for the evaluation involved: a review of records, files and reports, and the use of 14 questionnaires with a total of 314 respondents.
